EAST FALMOUTH — A Sandwich man in his 50s was taken to Falmouth Hospital with non-life threatening injuries after he lost control of his motorcycle Tuesday night, Falmouth fire and police officials said.

Falmouth fire Lt. Bruce Girouard said around 6:45 p.m. rescuers were called to the scene, where the man had been flung off his Harley-Davidson cruiser-style motorcycle at 134 Carriage Shop Road.

It appeared he had lost control of the bike, causing it to slide on the ground and hit a traffic sign, he said.

"It could have been a lot worse," he noted.

Falmouth police Lt. Douglas DeCosta said the road was shut down for about 20 minutes.

No citations have been issued, but the investigation is ongoing, he said.
